The Halloween “Monster House” in Highland on Monday. Artist Christine McConnell turned her parents’ home into a Halloween attraction decorated with scary eyeballs, monster teeth, spider webs and spooky green lights to illuminate the house at night.

Saturday is when something wicked this way comes, so there is an entire day to haunt around for something special to do.

If you are looking for festivities somewhere between trick-or-treating and being scared senseless, you’re in luck.

Monster House

If you are out and about, drive by the frightfully awesome Monster House in Highland.

Artist, photographer, baker and author Christine McConnell transformed her parents’ home with surreal, piercing green eyeballs and sharp fangs to create a jaw-dropping work of art at 27815 Pacific Ave. in Highland.

She designed the eyeball-studded creation all on her own.

CID Haunted House

If Halloween is empty for you without pirates, clowns and zombies, head to the fabulous CID Haunted House, a fundraiser for the Center for Individual Development, a regional recreation center in San Bernardino serving children and adults with disabilities.

The fear factor for this haunted house is custom-tailored to the individual — no-scare, half-scare and full-scare.

Earlier this month, I checked out all three mazes at half-scare, and that was perfect for me — exciting, but my hair didn’t turn white.

Three mazes are included in admission: Pirates Cove, Creepy Clowns and Zombies. All sorts of dreadful fun.

Prices are $15 for adults; $12 kids; $50 family of five. For more information, call 909-384-5426 or go to www.friendsofcid.com.

Boo in the Zoo

Calling all the party animals out there. Boo in the Zoo is the place for you if you enjoy wildlife.

Boo in the Zoo at the Big Bear Alpine Zoo is set for 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday. Parents and children are invited to enjoy the day in costume.

There will be a craft table and a costume contest, which will be judged after a noon presentation. There will be three judging classifications for judging: younger than 6; 6-12; and 12 and older. Each group will be judged for most original costume and winners will receive a prize and bragging rights.

For $1 you can buy a pumpkin and decorate it. Decorated pumpkins will be given to the animals by a zookeeper as an enrichment treat.

General admission includes Boo in the Zoo: $12 for adults; $9 children 3-10 and seniors 60-plus; and children younger than 3 are free, as are Friends of the Alpine Big Bear Zoo.

The zoo is a wildlife animal sanctuary, rehabilitation and education center. For more information, call 909-878-4200.

Halloween Dance Fundraiser

For all you guys and ghouls who love to dance — and help a good cause — a Halloween Dance Fundraiser at VFW Post 8737 is set for 8 p.m. to midnight Saturday, featuring the sounds of Smooth Groove. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

So get your costume ready; there is a contest and a raffle. Bring your own munchies and $12 at the door; advance tickets are $10.

The post is at 2018 W. Foothill Blvd., San Bernardino. For more information, call 909-889-2204.

Cemetery Tour

Because the tour focuses on historical background, it’s not spooky (well, maybe a little).

Historian and author Nick Cataldo conducts the tour, which is sponsored by the San Bernardino Historical and Pioneer Society and the Mountain View Mortuary and Cemetery.

The event is set for 2-5 p.m. Nov. 21 at 570 E. Highland Ave., San Bernardino. Tickets are $10 per person; $15 per couple before Nov. 7. After that date, prices increase by $5. Children 12 and younger are $5.

Everyone is encouraged to dress in 1880s through 1920s attire.

For more information, call 909-709-3792.
